Enjoying the weather with Blanchard's Cricket Frog

Over the weekend I decided to enjoy the sun at Hueston Woods and found a Blanchard's Cricket Frog, Acris crepitans, hopping around the side fo the lake. I identfied it by the distinct triangle on the back of it's head and the banding pattern of it's legs. These frogs are very small and are known for their chorusing, which resembles the sound of rocks clicking together. The tadpoles are known for having a distinctive black tip on their tail and metamorphose in four to six weeks after hatching. This particular specimen seemed to be displaying typical behavior as he was just chillin on the bank near alot of vegetation, but still allowing sun exposure (Posted by Brian Ulrich).
